Police have confirmed that a 17-year-old male Singaporean has been arrested.

In the video, the teenager said: “Lee Kuan Yew was a horrible person, because everyone is scared.

“Everyone is afraid if they say something like that, they might get into trouble…which, give Lee Kuan Yew credit, that was primarily the impact of his legacy.

“But I’m not afraid.”

And for that, he's now facing up to two years in jail for criminal defamation, plus three years for (of course) sedition. Because apparently you can't have people publicly criticising even former leaders. That would be democratic.
